Tori Kamameshi, also known as Japanese chicken pilaf, is a traditional Japanese one-pot dish made with rice, chicken, and vegetables. The dish is cooked in a specially designed pot called a kamameshi, which allows the ingredients to steam together and absorb the flavors of the broth, resulting in a rich and savory dish. Today's recipe uses brown rice, which is a healthier alternative to white rice, and adds a range of vegetables such as shiitake mushrooms, onions, asparagus or carrots, and peas to the dish.
